Reading a Chart Note

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Reading a chart note means identifying its section, then resolving each term against the anatomical position and the patient's own left and right.

Show

One line resolved in full.

Watch for

Palpation, examining by touch, and palpitation, an awareness of the heartbeat, differ by two letters. Both appear in chart notes.
